William Briggs (Katt’s attorney) told TMZ Katt was in Georgia shooting a movie, staying at the property of a friend and the movie’s producer, Barry Hankerson. ??Briggs says the reason his client was busted is because he was involved in a dispute with one of Barry’s employees who lives in the guesthouse. The vengeful employee called the cops and reported a faux burglary, Briggs says. Briggs adds Katt had “full permission” to be on the property and has been staying there for the last 3 weeks.

Katt’s bond was set at $41,150.

A recent visit to Sumter, South Carolina led actor/comedian Katt Williams to admit himself into Tuomey Regional Medical Center. On Friday, the former MTV Wild N’ Out cast member turned up in Sumter to visit family members, who allegedly urged him to undergo a mental health evaluation for a possible hospital commitment. This comes after media reports surface of him falling out with BET over the Hip-Hop Awards, missing Conan O’Brien, and displaying odd and erratic behavior when on stage, or even when seen out in public.

Sumter Police Department Maj. Perry Herod said officers responded to a call in reference to suspicious behavior by Williams, 35, on Friday morning at the Mount Vernon Inn. “And officers did talk with him, and then my understanding is he went on his own to Tuomey Hospital,” Herod said. “Basically we just received a call in reference to a possible suspicious person, but that’s the extent of the dealings we had with him,” said Sumter Police Chief Patty Patterson.

Patterson said Williams was trying to acquire a room at the motel when hotel employees called at around 8:30 a.m. due to his strange attire: a bathrobe and a towel wrapped around his head. After determining no criminal activity was taking place, officers left. “He asked for some directions, which he was given, and we departed,” she said.

Police noticed that the SUV was missing a license plate and that three guns were in plain sight inside the vehicles. When Williams emerged from a nearby building, he told the cops that the vehicles were his, and the officers handcuffed him. Eighteen hours after being arrested, the comedian posted $25,000 bond and was released right around the time he was supposed to hit the stage at Carnegie Hall.

“Wearing baggy jeans and a satin shirt, [Williams] … spritzed himself with cologne and jumped into a black limo,” the paper reported. “Half an hour later, it screeched to a stop near the rear stage entrance on West 56th Street, and Williams, surrounded by bodyguards, jumped out and disappeared into the hall.”

Hitting the stage just over an hour late, Williams reportedly apologized to the audience, telling them, “I’m not moving at my usual pace. I just got out of jail 35 minutes ago.” He assured the audience that he raced to the show because of them, though, not for the payday. “I wasn’t thinking about the money — maybe because they paid me in advance.” [ SOURCE ]

So much illegal activity in one weekend. But as they say in show business, “the show much go on!”

No, he didn’t lose some bogus “dance-off” to T-Pain. No, he wasn’t arrested by the Feds. According to AOL BV’s Jawn Murray, comedian Katt Williams walked out during rehearsals after a spat with the show’s producer.

“Katt was disrespectful, difficult and demanding throughout the process and his unprovoked verbal lashing on the producer was unwarranted,” a source close to the production told Murray.

Apparently, the pint-sized comedian start the day off with an awry note after he arrived to rehearsals 3 hours late. And when a producer greeted him when his self-driven RV pulled up, he went off…

Once again, our homie Necole Bitchie has the dirt on what really went down this weekend at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. She ran into comedian Katt Williams last night at an Atlanta bowling alley and discovered where the former awards show host was, which contradicts our previous post when we said he was scooped up by the Feds.

Necole: Hey Katt! What happened to you at the awards? They are saying you lost a bet to T-Pain

Katt: (gives me the “b*tch please” look) If anyone believes I’d bet my child support money on a break dancing contest with T-Pain, they must be stupid enough to think that I hangout with T-Pain

Necole: hmmm Ok, well here’s another one. I’m hearing you got arrested Saturday morning

Katt: (gives me the “do you really believe that?” look before he rolls his eyes then sips his drink)

I ended the conversation there…

Well, I guess that explains that! I guess??
